You have to read postings on "BostonCatholicInsider" before you jump in the river. That will sober you up quickly.

Cardinal O'Malley impressed me when, upon his appointment as archbishop of Boston, he took residence in a monestery run by his order, eschewing the mansion inhabited by his predecessors.

For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.' – Luke 9:46-48 (NIV)
